Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: An 'alibi' is a defense in criminal law where the accused claims to have been at a different place when the crime was committed.
Step 2: The purpose is to prove the accused could not have committed the crime because they were not present at the scene.
Step 3: Hence, 'alibi' means the person was elsewhere when the crime was committed.
